Jack Hartman - Gods Joy Regardless of Circumstances

Early Praise for
Gods Joy Regardless of Circumstances

This book has been a real stream in the desert that I have been able to drink from. I have used your book to help many people on my radio program every Sunday.

I have been a pastor, evangelist and missionary for 36 years. I thought I knew a lot of what the Bible says about joy until I read this book which is a spiritual encyclopedia on the subject of joy. This book is fantastic. In the middle of one of the worst storms in my life, I am shouting and praising God with joy. This book will help many people.

Gods Joy Regardless of Circumstances came to me right on time. Being in prison for twenty years for a crime I didnt commit and then having to deal with severe family problems is not a morsel that is easy to swallow. My oldest daughter was pregnant and we were looking forward to having my first grandson born. We were very pained to learn that my daughter had to lose her baby. In the midst of dealing with this problem, you sent me a free copy of Gods Joy Regardless of Circumstances. When I avidly started to read this book, my daughter underwent surgery, lost her baby and faced uncertainty and despair. This book pulled me through. Thank you also for sending a copy of this book to my daughter. May God continue blessing Lamplight Ministries.

This book is very complete and easy to understand. I like it so much that I already have read it two times and I will continue to refer to it often. I refuse to give up my joy because of the specific answers from the Bible in your book. Any person facing adversity of any sort can find answers from the Bible in this book.

Jack and Judy are passionate followers of Jesus Christ you only need to be around them a few minutes to realize that. That passion and enthusiasm is evident in their book. Their love for the Gospel shines through on every page!

I read Gods Joy Regardless of Circumstances at a time when the devil was doing everything he could to steal my joy. I was desperate. I learned that the circumstances in my life have no bearing on Gods promises. I have learned that I can live in Gods joy no matter what my circumstances dictate. This book showed me the way back to the joy I had lost. You have caused Scripture that I have known since I was a child to come alive with new meaning. This book is wonderful. Thank you so much for the encouragement you have given to me.

Believer, Iowa

When I first entered prison my feelings were dictated by circumstances. When I received your book Gods Joy Regardless of Circumstances, I learned that I can have Gods Joy regardless of my circumstances. That did not sound logical to me, but the Bible is Gods supernatural Word. Even in prison where the surroundings are constantly negative I can have joy in spite of my circumstances.

Dedication

Merlin Carothers (1924-2013) lived a life of praise to God. Praising God is the theme of each of his five books: Prison to Praise, Power in Praise, Praise Works, Bringing Heaven into Hell, and Answers to Praise. There are more than 19 million copies of Merlins praise books with translations into 58 languages. Merlins goal and the continued goal of the Foundation of Praise (www.foundationofpraise.org) is to equip prisons and jails across our nation and across the world with free praise books. Incalculable numbers of lives are in the family of God in Christ Jesus through the message of praise in these books.

I had the joy of being a co-director of the childrens ministry in the church in San Marcos, California where Merlin was the pastor. I also had a delightful time riding their horses. Merlin lived and breathed praise of God in Christ Jesus. Mary still does.

Mary, and their daughter, Joann Thomas, continue to provide free praise books to every state and federal prison in America and into as many city and county jails as possible. The praise books are also distributed free of charge to military personnel, hospital patients, crisis centers, and missionary projects around the world.

I honor the memory of Merlin Carothers:

Distinguished U.S. Army career-retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel in the 82nd Airborne, 1943

Guarded Dwight D. Eisenhower

Achieved Master Parachutist with 90 parachute jumps

Served as a U.S. Army Chaplain

Served as a Methodist pastor

Reached millions of people world-wide with the message of praising God in all circumstances

Merlin and Marys marriage was an expression of Gods love and His plan for husband and wife. Their presence brought joy to every situation. I have never known a more joy-filled and praise-filled couple with lives dedicated to the spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ through praise.

Thank you, Mary and Joann, for carrying on the inspiration of Merlin to bring praise, thanksgiving, and the worship of God, through His Son Jesus Christ, into the lives of millions of people all over the world. We love you.
